Teapot - GYOKKO Chayouhen Fuji Shape Biri Seaweed

This teapot is crafted using the "Chayou-hen" firing method, which involves three stages of firing.

First firing: The teapot is fired once using Shudei (red clay).
Second firing: Seaweed is applied to the surface before firing again.
Final firing: The piece undergoes a special smoking process to achieve the distinctive Chagama-hen finish.
This meticulous and time-intensive process creates the unique and captivating coloration of the teapot. We invite you to enjoy its charm.

The surface features the "Tobikanna" technique, where delicate patterns are carved using a plane while the potter's wheel is spinning.

Capacity: 280cc, suitable for serving 2 to 3 people.

The teapot is equipped with a "Ceramesh" ceramic tea strainer, ensuring excellent filtration.

This teapot is handcrafted by the second-generation artisan Gyokko Umehara. Both the second-generation Gyokko and the third-generation Gyokko are certified traditional craftsmen.

All Gyokko teapots are equipped with a "Ceramesh" ceramic strainer.

The clay used is a blend of Shudei (red clay) and Yakishime (high-fired unglazed clay), carefully shaped on a potter's wheel.

Since each piece is handmade, individual dimensions and capacities may vary slightly. Additionally, the kiln effect and color variations of the tea kiln finish may differ from the reference images due to the firing process. Thank you for your understanding.
